Staying put.

It's hire boat day!

4th July and most of the hire boat companies are starting up again today.

We are expecting it to be busy this afternoon.

We rarely travel on the days the hire boats leave and return to base.

This is because the canal is busier and full of nervous boaters, boaters who think they are still on the motorway and boaters who have underestimated how long their return journey will take and are racing back to the marina.

We find a quiet place to moor, get our windlass and bridge key to hand and get on with our day. We keep an eye out for anyone in trouble and lend a hand if we can.

Sounds like the perfect solution. Hope you didn't have to rescue any "newbies".

Stew

Y'days lamb was delicious and there is lots left. So today I'm making a stew, I'll use half of the left over lamb and add onion ...
